Exactly Swaggy lol. Had Dooku actually been able to convince Anakin, force lightning from Palpatine would have been the end result. Bottom line, Dooku wasnt leaving that room alive.
curved hilts were perfect for form II of lightsaber form makashi, which Count dooku performed. It allowed for greater control of the lightsaber and form II was mainly used for lightsaber to lightsaber combat and lacked in blaster deflection, which anakin did quite alot. Thus dooku's lightsaber wouldn't quite work for his fighting style.
There is no reason. It's a plot hole, cause it's a movie. If it was real life, he would be screaming Sidious is the Sith and has been using him and pleading for his life all day long like a squealing pig.
Yeah that has already been established and has absolutely nothing to do with what i said. The guy who is making the video is making up stuff simply to fill a plot hole. You can say why was Vader's fighting style so slow in A New Hope and you can make a video that he was injured, he was older, but again. It's just a plot hole, in movies they have plot holes. They make mistakes, stop trying to rationalize stuff that is just a mistake.
What if Dooku revealed Palpatine's identity above Coruscant? (Above Coruscant in the CIS command ship Obi-Wan and Anakin reach the Chancellor and Count Dooku enters like in canon). Palpatine: "Get help you are no match for him, he is a Sith Lord." Obi-Wan: "Chancelor Palpatine, Sith Lords are our specialty." (Count Dooku approaches). Dooku: "Your swords please. You wouldn't want to make a mess of things in front of the Dark Lord of The Sith." Anakin: "Oh don't worry Count we'll make this quick." Obi-Wan: "You won't get away this time." Dooku: "Who said I was talking about me." (Dooku said smirking). Dooku: "Kenobi you remember what I told you three years ago. How the Republic is under the control of The Dark Lord of The Sith?" Palpatine: "Why believe anything he saying. He cut off your arm Anakin, and tried to kill both of you on many occasions." Dooku: "I assure you what I tell you is true. The Dark Lord is sitting right there." (Dooku said as he pointed the hilt of his lightsaber at Palpatine). (Palpatine's face contorted into one of anger). (Anakin and Obi-Wan felt a tension in the room they had not felt before. Dooku did not draw his blade but kept it ready just encase one of the Jedi or his master tried something). (Palpatine wanted to kill Dooku right there, but did not want to expose himself). (Dooku would then talk about conversations that happened between him and Palpatine in private, and about how Palpatine got the Sandpeople/Tusken Raiders to kill Anakin's mother). (Both Jedi, especially Anakin would look in disbelief at Palpatine as Dooku went on. He even told them about how he wanted to use Anakin. It was all starting to make sense. Obi-Wan and Anakin drew their lightsabers not at Dooku, but at Palpatine). Obi Wan: "In the name of the Galactic Republic..." Anakin: "You are under arrest." (Palpatine sent out a wave of Force lightning pushing them back, and then freed himself of his restraints). Dooku: "Get up you fools." (Dooku told them as he went over to them). Dooku: "I didn't spend all this time as a double agent to die here! Besides it will take all of us to defeat him." Anakin: "What?" Dooku: "I'll explain later if we survive this." (They all readied themselves as Palpatine got up, two lightsabers came out of his sleves). Palpatine: "It's treason then." (Palpatine then leaped at them from across the room red sabers twirling and clashing with Dooku's, Kenobi's, and Skywalker's lightsabers). (The fight to decide the fate of the galaxy had begun). Any one is welcome to use this for a "what if" or versus set up if you want to. Just give me credit for the idea
Highly doubtful that Dooku just suddenly is a double agent, and it would really, really hurt the story. More likely he gets the two Jedi to help him kill Palpatine (or die trying) if he's even able to convince them, then has the droids on board plus Grievous help him kill whoever's left. Then the separatists, having essentially chopped off the Republic's head and not having any restraints from Palpatine anymore, would use their numbers to try and overwhelm the Jedi and a now extremely disorganized and disarrayed Republic military. Once that's done he would then force the Republic to accept his peace terms, and perhaps even the threat of that after having killed their leader and exposed him as a Sith would make the Republic give in without anymore fighting. Then with that massive droid army at his disposal, Dooku would most definitely be the most powerful man in the galaxy and at least have kind of fulfilled the Stih grand plan.
Jon Edwards then you are wrong if you don't believe that Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader are the same person. It shows they are at the very end of Revenge of the Sith.
+Strategic Bushcraft That would be contradicting to me. I think Darth Sidious wanted to test Anakin, to see if Anakin would be a good apprentice. Helping Anakin to win doesn't make sense in my opinion.
worse than that palpatine would proably torture the hell out of dooku first, while he was proably afraid of dying I think being left helpess before one of the strongest sith to have existed in that era would be much worse
Eleven Well they showed up first in 2nd episode so they had to name it after the clones.. I mean its a pretty big event just like the giant plot of darth sidious of killing all the jedi that they named ep. 3 after..
Cuz he was in shock. He had felt the greatest sure of pride and happiness before facing Anakin but then finding out Sidious crossed him he had no idea what to do. Plus Anakin wouldn't believe him. A similar thing happened in TFA when Kylo Ren couldn't block cheewies bowcaster bolt because he was in shock from killing his father, he couldn't move, until the bolt gave him the adrenaline to do so. Plus Dooku and Anakin together wouldn't be enough to kill Palpatine
Dokter Plus Sidious would wipe the floor with Anakin and Dooku in this scene. Dooku didn't have his hands by the time he would've told Anakin anyway but It wouldn't matter.
*hmm not sure about that, 1 of the best lightsaber wielders and the chosen 1 filled with rage could be a true challenge 4 him* ^Mainly this! Palpy's good but not invincible, he won those onscreen duels against; Mace and Yoda (who survived) cos of circumstances and shock surprise elements backing him up mainly. While a two on one duel between him and Dooku and Anakin working together might be very similar to Sidious duel with Darth Maul and his brother Savage Opress in season 5 of the Clone Wars series. Count Dooku is a more powerful wielder of the force than Maul and slightly more skilled swordsman, while Anakin was always growing in power and skill because of his experiences during the Clone Wars. both of them working together to takedown Sidious not only would be a sight to see but most probably see Sidious being defensive for once. And Dooku also casts Sith Lightning, something Darth Sidious himself prefers to rely on. Dooku would bring the years of experience while Anakin would be the skilled young warrior with youth on his side, Sidious would be heavily challenged methinks in that given scenario!
I always figured that Dooku realised that Anakin was the future. There was no point in trying to save his life. I mean, Dooku was a very old man. Probably even older than Sidious.
Maybe. Maybe not. I'm not sure we have any canon source of how old Palpatine is. I know some stories explained his upbringing and how he met Plaguies, but not sure that's canon. In that case - all we know is that he was "extremely old"; that was the description given to McDiarmid by Lucas before playing the role. For all we know, he could be a lot older than he looks in The Phantom Menace
NjA In any case, Dooku was an old man for a human, he's atleast 50-60 years older than Anakin. The moment he lost the fight he knew he was no longer part of the plan.
Alexander Inget I think Dooku thought he was an equal to Sidious. He had to know he was too old to be an heir. An argument could be made that he was Dark Jedi not Sith, and accepted that his fate was sealed and this was his role.
THANK YOU! I have been asking all the other Star wars channels ( Star Wars Theory, Stupendous Wave etc...) and none of them ever made this video, and I look on the recomended part of TH-cam and here is this! You have earned an eternal Sub! Congrats and Thanks!
It's a hard thing...a shattering thing to realize that your life, your triumphs and tragedies all amount to nothing. That everything you were is a lie and joke to the one you trusted. Yes...I understand Dooku's final moments of shocked silence well...
Here's a good question do you think palpatine gave Anikan the force visions of padmae dying? I mean that's the reason why he was turning to the dark side am I right or am i right?
I really thought it was because Dooku even in that moment was still loyal to Palpatine, because he still fully believed in Palpatine's vision of an Empire that would bring order to the galaxy. Even though he was shocked and hurt by Palpatine's betrayal, if he were to try to undermine Palpatine by telling Anakin, he'd be sabotaging that dream of the Empire that he had worked for. This is coupled with the idea that Dooku never fully turned to the dark side of the Force, as he never developed Sith eyes, so he was still capable of a selfless act like staying silent, to let Palatine create the Empire.
Honestly, Anakin did the right thing in killing Dooku. There was no way to take him prisoner. He has the power to choke people with his mind, after all!
Before Disney gained control, there were these things in the expanded universe called "Ysalimiri" or however it's spelled. Though I suppose the Republic probably didn't know about those.
Erik M. kind of hoping now we see some of those in one of the next movie, would be a cool twist to see a bounty hunter use them for hunting force sensitives
State of shock is probably the best answer... you could see how surprised how Dooku looked... he probably had so many thoughts running through his mind... shock of being so betrayed... shock of knowing "i have finally lost... to my master... and my rival."
Much simpler explanation: Aside from the shock he thought Sidious might save him at the last moment if he remained loyal but would definitely kill him if he spoke up. Wouldn't it also have been possible for Sidious to be exerting control over him through the Force?
Anakin was still good, he resisted his urge to kill Duku until Sidious got in his head. Later, when Anakin did learn Papaltine was Sidious, he ran to Windu. And that was even after Sidious told Anakin he could save Padme. Had Duku revealed the truth, there is no way Anakin would have sided with Sidious. You can see the look in Duku's eyes, his shock was absolutely the reason he didn't think to do reveal Papaltine's identity.
yo bro-skey.. .. def enjoyed this Vid... . I remember we were all having this convo in the comments on that vid you did a little while back. I'm glad you decided to make a vid to get to the bottom of why shit went down like that on the invisible hand. I particularly was feeling you on the point of Dooku feeling the current change in the Force. that would def make a lot of sense as to Dooku ultimately excepting defeat. plus seeing Anakin fully engulfed in the dark side at that moment of the kill order, it was pretty much a rap for Dooku. plus u can see Anakin wanted to give in to that kill order, Sidious just goating him along until he did it (DO IT!). Lol! thanx for the vid Homie. this def clears up a lot of head scratching from the past few years.. . . R.I.P. Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) We def gonna miss you baby! The Force is with you!
They would turn Anakin towards the dark side? I think that would indicate red flag. Think about it. I don't recall any of the characters growing up slowly being turned to the dark side during the various cartoons and other stuff. Since there is a rule of two that should have indicated he was being replaced.
sharkfinbite many sith don't completely understand that rule though. Is it dark Jedi as in people who use the dark side of the force but are still somewhere in the light? or Sith Lords?
Keep in mind the Rule of Two didn't necessarily have to stay in effect after the grand plan was completed, and it didn't really have to be followed in the first place. Most Sith apprentices broke it while they worked to overthrow their masters by taking on their own apprentices, and plenty of masters broke it to replace apprentices. Plagueis and Palpatine broke it with Darth Maul, who died at pretty much the same exact time Plagueis did. Those two also were already working Dooku into their plans by that point. I'm guessing Dooku assumed that it was to become some sort of Triumvirate with Palpatine at the top and Dooku and Anakin filling different, but equal roles or something like that. Or Dooku planned to get Palpatine's full teachings then overthrow him. What I think was stupid on Dooku's part was the idea that he could possibly just claim he didn't know what the separatists were doing and get the general public or the senate to ever forgive him and allow him a position within the empire. He should've known, especially given his intelligence and charisma, that as the CIS head of state there was no way he could avoid retribution from the republic for the war. To everyone but Palpatine and eventually Yoda and Obi Wan, he was the driving force behind the whole thing. It was all his fault and he started it in their eyes. He should've known that that gave him no chance.
John Watson IV i feel as if this guy doesnt really take into account the clone wars series. Its full canon and the oublic clearly saw dooku was well aware of these evil events.
Count Dooku must have known that Anakin would not have believed his claim that Palpatine was his Sith master. I also like to think that Dooku was so bitter and disillusioned with the Jedi, he would rather die than allow the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic they served to survive by stopping Darth Sidious. It still bugs me that Dooku would go along with Sidious's plot to turn Anakin Skywalker to the dark side as the elder Sith must have known his master and partner sought to replace him with Skywalker. Dooku was just so arrogant and sure of his abilities that he believed there could be no other outcome to the duel than his total victory. Following that, Dooku would have likely killed Anakin instead, forcing Sidious to keep him as his apprentice.
This was a great video and ALL great points! I have a simpler and shorter answer... Anakin would not have believed Count Dooku! Palpatine/ Sidiuos was a master of manipulation and cloking the reality of situations. That's how he operated as Senator for so long under the radar of the Jedi. He would have simply told Anakin that Dooku was trying to regain the upper hand in the duel and how he (Palpatine) was too weak and old to possibly be the Dark Lord of the Sith!!
In my opinion, Dooku didn't know that Palpatine and Sidious were the same person. Did you notice Dooku's sheer surprise in his face when Palpatine exclaimed to Anakin to 'do it'? At that very moment Dooku experienced revelation. All the pieces set in place and the Count of Serenno finally realized he was being manipulated by the Sith Lord all that time.
During the duels on Geonosis, Dooku showed no fear toward Yoda, or Kenobi, in fact he showed nothing but self confidence... however, when Kenobi threw a second light saber to Anakin, Dooku showed a moment of fear on his face, then profound relief when he defeated Skywalker... Watch it again.
Answer: Dooku didn't say anything a) because he was in shock, unable to articulate words, and b) he's an idiot. There I just saved you watching a 10 minute video.
He wouldn't, in the clone wars when fives tells Anakin that Palpatine wanted to destroy the jedi Anakin angrily says that "the chancellor is not capable of the things you claim."
The real question is, why did Disney non-canonize the greatest Star Wars characters ever made in Darth Revan and Mara Jade?? Sad sad sad It's also funny how Clone Wars show Anakin was much more under control (relatively) and less angsty towards Dooku than in the movie
I would imagine there's an extreme level of shock. You can see it in Dooku's face. He's trying to figure out what's going on. Dooku knew the master plan, he knew how it was meant to end, and now Palpatine is telling a Jedi, a member of the faction he's obsessed with destroying, to kill him. By the time his head comes off he's still not sure if he's been betrayed or if losing his hands is somehow part of the plan. It actually reminds me a little of Palpatine's death in Return of the Jedi. You've got to remember how far Dooku has gone as part of this plan. At this point there's a layer of disbelief because if he's been betrayed then it was all for nothing. It would be like finding out the girl you sacrificed everything for is cheating on you.
Something I think you may have missed but touched on in your video about why Dooku didn't have "Sith Eyes" is this. Dooku's whole reason for jpining The Dark Side and joining the Sith. Dooku felt the Republic was faulty... that it needed to be brought under the unifying rule of a powerful leader. He had no desire to be that leader, wasn't so immersed in The DarkSide to gain the Sith Eyes or that unyeilding lust for personal power. It was all just a means to change the galaxy for the better in his mind. Now couple that with the fact that Dooku has been a Jedi Master. Jedi were accustomed to serving a goal, an ideal greater than themselves, and they were certainly not beyond sacrificing themselves for that goal. Old habbits die hard. I therefore conclude that in addition to all that you mentioned in this video, when Dooku found himself on his knees looking up at Anakin and realising his death was at hand and for the first time truly perceiving Sideous's full plan..... he accepted it. He saw that this was the path towards the galaxy gettong the change it needed. That this was the part he was intended to play all along. He accepted this as his role and played his part accepting that his death, that the sacrifice of his life towards that end was necessary. That is where the part of him that was still Jedi Master Dooku allowed himself to be sacrificed for the ideal he believed in. Just a thought. I'd be real interested in hearing what you think about it.
Because he just got both his hands lopped off and was in shock. Palpatine was quick enough to not give Dooku the chance to utter a word and ordered Anakin to execute him.
If you're going to assume Dooku had so much "Force insight", you might as well say that he foresaw that although he was doomed, Sidious was also dooming himself, since he in turn would be betrayed by Anakin.
It may not have even worked. If Dooku says Palpatine's the Sith Lord, Palpatine can just say to Anakin that Dooku's bargaining and trying to spread dissent among the Republic. Then pressure Anakin to execute him before Dooku can make a good argument against him.
I think it is because Dooku already told it to Obi Wan on Geonosis, but he could not believe it as it would seem impossible that nobody ever noticed and it was there the whole time in front of their eyes, so he probably thought telling Anakin would have no effect anyways and he knew that learning truth would come sooner or later even without saying word. But i do agree with your version indeed.
I think Dooku understands that not revealing the true nature of the situation allows him to beat Anakin after all is said and done in the end Anakin did die once he became Vader and his whole life was shattered and torn apart so Dooku did indeed defeat him. He killed Anakin giving life to Vader. Plus there was no way place him in handcuffs.
Because he already told obi wan. He even reiterated that he has already told him everything in the clone wars series when they were investigating sifo diyas.
In the comic of Star wars Eps 3, that came out some days before the movie hit the cinema. When Dooku is on his kne, with 2 lightsabers on each side of his head. Sidious tells Anikan. "Kill him", Dooku looks at Sidious and says "Master?!", before or after Anikan says "It's not the Jedi way", i can't remember. But then Sidious calls out "Do it!", and Dooku dies. So in the comic Dooku revelas that Palpatin is his master. Either the comic took the liberty to write that, to reveal to the reader that Dooku is suprised and that he knows Palpatin is Sidious, either case they made the comics out of reading the script, watching the storyboards and maybe watching an early cut. In that case, the idea that Dooku had forseen his own death in this fight, does not fit or that he was to shocked to say anything. The Comic does not support this videos conclusion on this matter.
All the names I keep coming up with are Jedi he had someone else kill.. He is responsible for many Jedi deaths, but never by his own hand, it seems.. which would make sense, in a way. I think it's his way of detaching himself from the awful atrocities against his former allies, so as not to be overcome with guilt.
I believe after the events of The Phantom Menace, Palpatine decided at that very moment that Anakin would become his ultimate discipline. But as a boy and teenager, Anakin was not strong enough. Palpatine knew making Anakin Skywalker his apprentice was the end goal. He cleverly waited for Anakin to reach his peak of power to make his move. Basically he allowed the Jedi to do his work for him. Under the tutelage of the Jedi, Anakin quickly became one of the strongest Jedi Knights in all the order. He was also the youngest member of the Order to ever do so. If he had been given the rank of Master, Anakin would have been one of a kind. Many speculated that Master Windu was jealous of the Chosen One. I don't buy it. I firmly believe Mace Windu was extremely cautious of Anakin since he was a boy, bcuz he, like the other Masters of the Order could not foresee Anakin's future. This was a very dangerous situation for the Jedi bcuz, there was literally no one, and i mean no one the Jedi did not foresee or get some hint or clairvoyance of that person's future. Especially if they if were using all their power to do so. When it came to Anakin, the force revealed nothing to the Jedi of his impending future. The Jedi did not walk a path they could not foresee, this was not the Jedi way. Bcuz of this great uncertainty, the Jedi council denied Anakin the right to become a Jedi. Thinking back on it, that was the smartest thing they could have done. Bcuz of two persistent Jedi, the Council reneged on their final decision. They broke their own oath and protocol for a mere boy, who was the Chosen one. As a Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker possessed great gifts and skill with force. The Jedi Council unanimously denied Anakin the rank of Master. They did so, not bcuz of his physical skill, but bcuz of his mentality. Therefore everyone agreed with Master Windu, that includes Master Yoda and Obi-wan. They all felt Anakin was not yet ready. This is shows that there is no personal biasness being placed on Anakin from Master Windu alone. On several occasions, Anakin did not think or reason like a Jedi. He was, as they deemed, too emotional. I believe if Anakin had at least one person in the order who could understand how he felt, and why he felt the way he did, he would not have betrayed the Jedi. Obi-wan Kenobi was Anakin Skywalker's best friend, and even he was constantly saying he did not understand Anakin at all sometimes. It was as if his apprentice was a complete stranger to him. So Anakin's feelings of being an outcast, or outsider didn't come outta thin air. This came from years of being misunderstood. The Jedi forged Anakin into one of their greatest prodigies, yet kept him at a distance bcuz they could not foresee his future. This is what worked to Palatines' advantage. Why? Bcuz Anakin Skywalker never felt at peace with the Jedi, bcuz they always kept him at a distance. Anakin was never at one with his Jedi brethren and family. He was that one odd ball that they never understood and never fit in. Revenge of the Sith was the culmination of all that I just explained. And it's a sad shame.
Dooku must've realized he was just a place-holder for Palpatine's choice of a TRUE apprentice. He probably thought it wouldn't have made little difference whether he told him or not, since Anakin would find out eventually anyways.
I'd also add that dukoo truly believed in the cause of Palpatine. That the Republic had become too corrupt and needed to be remade (at least that was how the idea was pitched to him). And for that cause dukoo allowed himself to become the enemy of his own jedi friends and Republic kinsmen - a truly massive sacrifice when you think about it, albeit misguided. but if his believed so strongly in that cause, it's likely he wouldn't even want to reveal Palpatine's identity, because that would for sure undo everything he had sacrificed so much for; his reputation, position, and life.
Question is why wouldn't Dooku know that Palpatine would betray him? When this what all Sith did to each other or why Dooku wouldn't have put plans in place just in case. Plans in place to inform the Senate and CIS.
It just wasn't in his character to beg, simple as that. Originally, Dooku called out to the Chancellor to help him, but Lee decided it wasn't in his character. He's visibly distraught over the sudden betrayal, but at the same time, he accepts his fate.
Palpatine: Do it
Dooku: Wait he's the Sith Lord
Anakin: WWHHAATT!!
Palpatine: Oh crap
and then Anakin: Oh, no you didn't!!!
DABOSS2020
No he probably wouldn't have, but seeds of doubt are a powerful thing.
DABOSS2020 not sure if he would totally believed him but it would have stopped him for a sec
Exactly Swaggy lol. Had Dooku actually been able to convince Anakin, force lightning from Palpatine would have been the end result. Bottom line, Dooku wasnt leaving that room alive.
Magic Wizards that's exactly how I imagined that
Another good question, Why didn't Anakin keep Dooku's pimped out Light Saber? Such a loss....
Vajra_Asura maybe he doesn't like curved hilts
Riggamortis _
But....its so coooool....
curved hilts were perfect for form II of lightsaber form makashi, which Count dooku performed. It allowed for greater control of the lightsaber and form II was mainly used for lightsaber to lightsaber combat and lacked in blaster deflection, which anakin did quite alot. Thus dooku's lightsaber wouldn't quite work for his fighting style.
Trident_ Hectix, very good....
And the fact the Jedi rather use lightsabers they made themselves
Glad I'm not the only one who was wondering this... Dooku's state of shock was all I could think of as the reason
There is no reason.
It's a plot hole, cause it's a movie.
If it was real life, he would be screaming Sidious is the Sith and has been using him and pleading for his life all day long like a squealing pig.
it could also be due to Lucas' ignorance'
MrRevan yeah, that part was always a lil off to me. This makes sense.
Stokkeland23 Yeah but it isn't real life, do they have Sith Lords and Jedi in real life? No.
Yeah that has already been established and has absolutely nothing to do with what i said.
The guy who is making the video is making up stuff simply to fill a plot hole.
You can say why was Vader's fighting style so slow in A New Hope and you can make a video that he was injured, he was older, but again.
It's just a plot hole, in movies they have plot holes.
They make mistakes, stop trying to rationalize stuff that is just a mistake.
What if Dooku revealed Palpatine's identity above Coruscant?
(Above Coruscant in the CIS command ship Obi-Wan and Anakin reach the Chancellor and Count Dooku enters like in canon).
Palpatine: "Get help you are no match for him, he is a Sith Lord."
Obi-Wan: "Chancelor Palpatine, Sith Lords are our specialty."
(Count Dooku approaches).
Dooku: "Your swords please. You wouldn't want to make a mess of things in front of the Dark Lord of The Sith."
Anakin: "Oh don't worry Count we'll make this quick."
Obi-Wan: "You won't get away this time."
Dooku: "Who said I was talking about me."
(Dooku said smirking).
Dooku: "Kenobi you remember what I told you three years ago. How the Republic is under the control of The Dark Lord of The Sith?"
Palpatine: "Why believe anything he saying. He cut off your arm Anakin, and tried to kill both of you on many occasions."
Dooku: "I assure you what I tell you is true. The Dark Lord is sitting right there."
(Dooku said as he pointed the hilt of his lightsaber at Palpatine).
(Palpatine's face contorted into one of anger).
(Anakin and Obi-Wan felt a tension in the room they had not felt before. Dooku did not draw his blade but kept it ready just encase one of the Jedi or his master tried something).
(Palpatine wanted to kill Dooku right there, but did not want to expose himself).
(Dooku would then talk about conversations that happened between him and Palpatine in private, and about how Palpatine got the Sandpeople/Tusken Raiders to kill Anakin's mother).
(Both Jedi, especially Anakin would look in disbelief at Palpatine as Dooku went on. He even told them about how he wanted to use Anakin. It was all starting to make sense. Obi-Wan and Anakin drew their lightsabers not at Dooku, but at Palpatine).
Obi Wan: "In the name of the Galactic Republic..."
Anakin: "You are under arrest."
(Palpatine sent out a wave of Force lightning pushing them back, and then freed himself of his restraints).
Dooku: "Get up you fools."
(Dooku told them as he went over to them).
Dooku: "I didn't spend all this time as a double agent to die here! Besides it will take all of us to defeat him."
Anakin: "What?"
Dooku: "I'll explain later if we survive this."
(They all readied themselves as Palpatine got up, two lightsabers came out of his sleves).
Palpatine: "It's treason then."
(Palpatine then leaped at them from across the room red sabers twirling and clashing with Dooku's, Kenobi's, and Skywalker's lightsabers).
(The fight to decide the fate of the galaxy had begun).
Any one is welcome to use this for a "what if" or versus set up if you want to. Just give me credit for the idea
212th Trooper I think Star Wars Theory would like this
Highly doubtful that Dooku just suddenly is a double agent, and it would really, really hurt the story. More likely he gets the two Jedi to help him kill Palpatine (or die trying) if he's even able to convince them, then has the droids on board plus Grievous help him kill whoever's left. Then the separatists, having essentially chopped off the Republic's head and not having any restraints from Palpatine anymore, would use their numbers to try and overwhelm the Jedi and a now extremely disorganized and disarrayed Republic military. Once that's done he would then force the Republic to accept his peace terms, and perhaps even the threat of that after having killed their leader and exposed him as a Sith would make the Republic give in without anymore fighting. Then with that massive droid army at his disposal, Dooku would most definitely be the most powerful man in the galaxy and at least have kind of fulfilled the Stih grand plan.
It's actually a well known theory that Dooku is a double agent
212th Trooper thnx for the idea homie
So long as you give me credit for the idea you are free to use it.
funny thought. anakin eventually kills everyone in that room.
Nah, Darth Vader killed Anakin and Sidious
Jon Glenn anakin killed sidious, and he also never died if he was alive to kill sidious
+Jon Edwards Darth Vader is Anakin
Jill durham not to certain people
Jon Edwards then you are wrong if you don't believe that Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader are the same person. It shows they are at the very end of Revenge of the Sith.
I liked the moment of silence for Carrie at the beginning
Cheesycurve 54 😐
Jbush69 Gamer R.I.P Carrie fisher
😞😭
May the Force be with her
Jbush69 Gamer same
Or maybe he was just like "Oh Shit my hands!"
Yep, during their fight Dooku lost the upper hand... if only he had the high ground.
methinks he lost the upper hand and the lower one too... DOHHH!
And then the invisible one a few minutes later
omg bro I don't know why either but no reason to cuss dude
master therion I swear I just sat here and laughed from 20 minutes when I read that comment
How about Palpatine used his force powers to stop Dooku from speaking by holding his vocal cords with the force
Eternalnight 🤔
Eternalnight so pretty much force choke lmao
Normal force choke would have been noticed by Anakin. He would just stop him from speaking, but not from breathing.
Palpatine could have also done battle meditation or similar force power to help Anakin win against Dooku.
+Strategic Bushcraft That would be contradicting to me. I think Darth Sidious wanted to test Anakin, to see if Anakin would be a good apprentice. Helping Anakin to win doesn't make sense in my opinion.
First rule of Darth club, don't talk about Darth Club.
I wish these vide-uploaders would follow that rule with these mindless speculations.
Lmbo haha
Because the plot required him not to say anything.
myfavoritescenes he did though...to obi wan
Matthew Chinn
The plot required Kenobi to dismiss him instantly.
lol simple but true
It wouldn't have saved his life, but Dooku would've died fucked up Palpatine's entire plan.
Benny Biggums I can't agree more
worse than that palpatine would proably torture the hell out of dooku first, while he was proably afraid of dying I think being left helpess before one of the strongest sith to have existed in that era would be much worse
Last time I was this early the Empire was still called the Republic
Unfunny.. But nah.. Have a like
lol I know I hate those jokes, but I do them anyway, sooooo...¯\_(ツ)_/¯
R.I.P Carrie Fisher and her mother Debbie Reynolds :(
Jesus, bad enough she had to outlive her daughter but to then die days after her...
Matthew Stryletz not days after, the very next day! she must have been overtaken by grief!
probably feeling guilty for being a leading cause in her untimely death.
Mikhail Parsons You are messed up man
RunNeSh3 VEVO uhm...
why is episode 3 not called attack of the clones because the clones do attack in episode 3 ?
at-at's shoot in episode 5. Why isn't it named EPISODE 5 : Shooting AT-AT's ?
Sušenka XDDD XD REKT SCRUB. srsly
He means that the movie called "Attack of the Clones" features the clones far less and less impactfully than Revenge of the Sith.
Eleven Well they showed up first in 2nd episode so they had to name it after the clones.. I mean its a pretty big event just like the giant plot of darth sidious of killing all the jedi that they named ep. 3 after..
Sušenka XDDD But ep. 2 wasn't really about the clones, they were a sub plot, the main story was about Anakin and Padme.
Cause even in the face of death he ain't no bitch.
Dooku was too busy thinking "shit, how do I turn into a force-ghost?"
More like he was too busy with the realization that he trained the guy, that trained the guy, that trained the guy that killed him.
Cuz he was in shock. He had felt the greatest sure of pride and happiness before facing Anakin but then finding out Sidious crossed him he had no idea what to do. Plus Anakin wouldn't believe him. A similar thing happened in TFA when Kylo Ren couldn't block cheewies bowcaster bolt because he was in shock from killing his father, he couldn't move, until the bolt gave him the adrenaline to do so. Plus Dooku and Anakin together wouldn't be enough to kill Palpatine
hmm not sure about that, 1 of the best lightsaber wielders and the chosen 1 filled with rage could be a true challenge 4 him...
Dokter Plus Sidious would wipe the floor with Anakin and Dooku in this scene. Dooku didn't have his hands by the time he would've told Anakin anyway but It wouldn't matter.
Maybe getting both his hands cut off could add to the shock?
*hmm not sure about that, 1 of the best lightsaber wielders and the chosen 1 filled with rage could be a true challenge 4 him*
^Mainly this! Palpy's good but not invincible, he won those onscreen duels against; Mace and Yoda (who survived) cos of circumstances and shock surprise elements backing him up mainly. While a two on one duel between him and Dooku and Anakin working together might be very similar to Sidious duel with Darth Maul and his brother Savage Opress in season 5 of the Clone Wars series. Count Dooku is a more powerful wielder of the force than Maul and slightly more skilled swordsman, while Anakin was always growing in power and skill because of his experiences during the Clone Wars. both of them working together to takedown Sidious not only would be a sight to see but most probably see Sidious being defensive for once.
And Dooku also casts Sith Lightning, something Darth Sidious himself prefers to rely on. Dooku would bring the years of experience while Anakin would be the skilled young warrior with youth on his side, Sidious would be heavily challenged methinks in that given scenario!
+MGSBigBoss77 yes true👌
I always figured that Dooku realised that Anakin was the future. There was no point in trying to save his life. I mean, Dooku was a very old man. Probably even older than Sidious.
Alexander Inget he was WAY older than Sidious
Maybe. Maybe not. I'm not sure we have any canon source of how old Palpatine is. I know some stories explained his upbringing and how he met Plaguies, but not sure that's canon.
In that case - all we know is that he was "extremely old"; that was the description given to McDiarmid by Lucas before playing the role.
For all we know, he could be a lot older than he looks in The Phantom Menace
NjA In any case, Dooku was an old man for a human, he's atleast 50-60 years older than Anakin. The moment he lost the fight he knew he was no longer part of the plan.
Alexander Inget I think Dooku thought he was an equal to Sidious. He had to know he was too old to be an heir. An argument could be made that he was Dark Jedi not Sith, and accepted that his fate was sealed and this was his role.
And, ether way he would of died by Sidious.
I always figured Dooku didn't think of it at the time out of shock, he was more thinking how he could let this happen because he was too proud.
I'm disappointed how short the fight was in the movie, in the book the fight with Dooku vs Anakin and Obi wan lasted an ENTIRE chapter
THANK YOU! I have been asking all the other Star wars channels ( Star Wars Theory, Stupendous Wave etc...) and none of them ever made this video, and I look on the recomended part of TH-cam and here is this! You have earned an eternal Sub! Congrats and Thanks!
joethahobo I've been waiting for this one for a while too. I also commented on one of Stupendous Wave's videos a while back asking the same thing.
Palpatine was probably thinking "DON'T DEW IT!".
he didn't tell because Dooku was loyal and not a fucking snitch
Snitches get stitches, but Dooku got straight decapitated.
Josh Kimbrough: Straight up fear of Palpatine's retribution for such a betrayal, might have played a role.
Nah He knew he was gonna get whacked anyway, he took that shit like a fucking G
He may not be a snitch but he was a bitch
Sith are never loyal to anyone but themselves.
Thank you for the lovey tribute to our Princess before video mate, keep up your awesome work brother.
It's a hard thing...a shattering thing to realize that your life, your triumphs and tragedies all amount to nothing. That everything you were is a lie and joke to the one you trusted. Yes...I understand Dooku's final moments of shocked silence well...
Here's a good question do you think palpatine gave Anikan the force visions of padmae dying? I mean that's the reason why he was turning to the dark side am I right or am i right?
Logan Casella shiiiit probably
no you're left
I really thought it was because Dooku even in that moment was still loyal to Palpatine, because he still fully believed in Palpatine's vision of an Empire that would bring order to the galaxy. Even though he was shocked and hurt by Palpatine's betrayal, if he were to try to undermine Palpatine by telling Anakin, he'd be sabotaging that dream of the Empire that he had worked for.
This is coupled with the idea that Dooku never fully turned to the dark side of the Force, as he never developed Sith eyes, so he was still capable of a selfless act like staying silent, to let Palatine create the Empire.
I've been watching your videos for the past 2 hours and lost all track of time. Officially subscribed my friend.
Honestly, Anakin did the right thing in killing Dooku. There was no way to take him prisoner. He has the power to choke people with his mind, after all!
Cybermat47 unless one of the masters was able to apply Sever Force on Dooku
Before Disney gained control, there were these things in the expanded universe called "Ysalimiri" or however it's spelled. Though I suppose the Republic probably didn't know about those.
Cybermat47 also they can't put handcuffs on him lmao
puplespeckeldappleeater HAHAHAHA, Right? If the snuggles bear can kill an elite stormtrooper, anything can happen.
Erik M.
kind of hoping now we see some of those in one of the next movie, would be a cool twist to see a bounty hunter use them for hunting force sensitives
State of shock is probably the best answer... you could see how surprised how Dooku looked... he probably had so many thoughts running through his mind... shock of being so betrayed... shock of knowing "i have finally lost... to my master... and my rival."
Thanks for everything Carrie.
I usually smell the presence of dooku more than feel it, unless I step in a real big one
Much simpler explanation: Aside from the shock he thought Sidious might save him at the last moment if he remained loyal but would definitely kill him if he spoke up. Wouldn't it also have been possible for Sidious to be exerting control over him through the Force?
Best detailed explanation i've heard. Great job
Anakin was still good, he resisted his urge to kill Duku until Sidious got in his head. Later, when Anakin did learn Papaltine was Sidious, he ran to Windu. And that was even after Sidious told Anakin he could save Padme. Had Duku revealed the truth, there is no way Anakin would have sided with Sidious.
You can see the look in Duku's eyes, his shock was absolutely the reason he didn't think to do reveal Papaltine's identity.
yo bro-skey.. .. def enjoyed this Vid... . I remember we were all having this convo in the comments on that vid you did a little while back. I'm glad you decided to make a vid to get to the bottom of why shit went down like that on the invisible hand. I particularly was feeling you on the point of Dooku feeling the current change in the Force. that would def make a lot of sense as to Dooku ultimately excepting defeat. plus seeing Anakin fully engulfed in the dark side at that moment of the kill order, it was pretty much a rap for Dooku. plus u can see Anakin wanted to give in to that kill order, Sidious just goating him along until he did it (DO IT!). Lol! thanx for the vid Homie. this def clears up a lot of head scratching from the past few years.. . . R.I.P. Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) We def gonna miss you baby! The Force is with you!
I love how in the end he tries so hard to sound enthused.
An excellent analysis of this situation. I've always pondered that question myself and you give some quite plausible explanations!
maybe Duke was thinking well played sir well played
Or maybe it's just bad writing
Because he was shocked by the betrayal
Palpatine: Kill him.
Anakin: I shouldn't.
Palpatine: Kill him.
Anakin: ok.
before I watch the video
according to the book dooku tried to tell anakin about it but before he could he was killed by anakin
Peter C really? Wow, Well he was pretty slow doing that then! Lol!
They would turn Anakin towards the dark side? I think that would indicate red flag. Think about it. I don't recall any of the characters growing up slowly being turned to the dark side during the various cartoons and other stuff. Since there is a rule of two that should have indicated he was being replaced.
sharkfinbite many sith don't completely understand that rule though. Is it dark Jedi as in people who use the dark side of the force but are still somewhere in the light? or Sith Lords?
Not all dark side users are Sith.
Dooku might have taken anakin as an apprentice to overthrow Sidius, which would be a common thing in the rule of two I think.
Keep in mind the Rule of Two didn't necessarily have to stay in effect after the grand plan was completed, and it didn't really have to be followed in the first place. Most Sith apprentices broke it while they worked to overthrow their masters by taking on their own apprentices, and plenty of masters broke it to replace apprentices. Plagueis and Palpatine broke it with Darth Maul, who died at pretty much the same exact time Plagueis did. Those two also were already working Dooku into their plans by that point. I'm guessing Dooku assumed that it was to become some sort of Triumvirate with Palpatine at the top and Dooku and Anakin filling different, but equal roles or something like that. Or Dooku planned to get Palpatine's full teachings then overthrow him. What I think was stupid on Dooku's part was the idea that he could possibly just claim he didn't know what the separatists were doing and get the general public or the senate to ever forgive him and allow him a position within the empire. He should've known, especially given his intelligence and charisma, that as the CIS head of state there was no way he could avoid retribution from the republic for the war. To everyone but Palpatine and eventually Yoda and Obi Wan, he was the driving force behind the whole thing. It was all his fault and he started it in their eyes. He should've known that that gave him no chance.
John Watson IV i feel as if this guy doesnt really take into account the clone wars series. Its full canon and the oublic clearly saw dooku was well aware of these evil events.
your endings get me everytime!😂
Count Dooku must have known that Anakin would not have believed his claim that Palpatine was his Sith master. I also like to think that Dooku was so bitter and disillusioned with the Jedi, he would rather die than allow the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic they served to survive by stopping Darth Sidious.
It still bugs me that Dooku would go along with Sidious's plot to turn Anakin Skywalker to the dark side as the elder Sith must have known his master and partner sought to replace him with Skywalker. Dooku was just so arrogant and sure of his abilities that he believed there could be no other outcome to the duel than his total victory. Following that, Dooku would have likely killed Anakin instead, forcing Sidious to keep him as his apprentice.
This was a great video and ALL great points! I have a simpler and shorter answer... Anakin would not have believed Count Dooku! Palpatine/ Sidiuos was a master of manipulation and cloking the reality of situations. That's how he operated as Senator for so long under the radar of the Jedi. He would have simply told Anakin that Dooku was trying to regain the upper hand in the duel and how he (Palpatine) was too weak and old to possibly be the Dark Lord of the Sith!!
May the force be with her. R.I.P
Wow I think you actually managed to say every sentence twice in this video. Good job.
Because Dooku knew Anakin would lead the Sith to victory again
The Invisible Hand? Was Dooku's ship built by Adam Smith?
Rezzy It was Grievous's and it was I bet
Great topic. I never thought about this.
In my opinion, Dooku didn't know that Palpatine and Sidious were the same person. Did you notice Dooku's sheer surprise in his face when Palpatine exclaimed to Anakin to 'do it'? At that very moment Dooku experienced revelation. All the pieces set in place and the Count of Serenno finally realized he was being manipulated by the Sith Lord all that time.
A bit late but:
Born Carrie Fisher, will live on as Princess Leia.
Sorry, it took me awhile to find this channel.
During the duels on Geonosis, Dooku showed no fear toward Yoda, or Kenobi, in fact he showed nothing but self confidence... however, when Kenobi threw a second light saber to Anakin, Dooku showed a moment of fear on his face, then profound relief when he defeated Skywalker... Watch it again.
you'd expect at least a questioning "my lord?" from dooku to sidious ya know...
I remember in the RotS novelisation, it states that Dooku was about to say something right as Anakin decapitates him
Rest in peace Christopher Lee
Answer: Dooku didn't say anything a) because he was in shock, unable to articulate words, and b) he's an idiot. There I just saved you watching a 10 minute video.
CyaLatte i think b
actually, it's c) because george lucas is uncapable of logic thoughts and he just got lucky with the script of "a new hope"
Cornelius von Hardenberg Feels more like an extension of (b)
great channel very thought provoking
that was pretty detailed thumbs up man
May you R.I.P Carrie Fisher
VictorPlaysLOTR Just say rest in peace.
shut it you ya wookie whopper , that carrie fisher took gold from my grans house in 1972......
Dooku accepted his death like Tessio accepted his death in Godfather 1.
Dooku was so surprised at how handily he was defeated by Anakin that he couldn’t think straight, so much so that he basically lost his head.
I'm not sure that Anakin would've believed him anyway
He wouldn't, in the clone wars when fives tells Anakin that Palpatine wanted to destroy the jedi Anakin angrily says that "the chancellor is not capable of the things you claim."
The real question is, why did Disney non-canonize the greatest Star Wars characters ever made in Darth Revan and Mara Jade?? Sad sad sad
It's also funny how Clone Wars show Anakin was much more under control (relatively) and less angsty towards Dooku than in the movie
I would imagine there's an extreme level of shock. You can see it in Dooku's face. He's trying to figure out what's going on. Dooku knew the master plan, he knew how it was meant to end, and now Palpatine is telling a Jedi, a member of the faction he's obsessed with destroying, to kill him. By the time his head comes off he's still not sure if he's been betrayed or if losing his hands is somehow part of the plan. It actually reminds me a little of Palpatine's death in Return of the Jedi. You've got to remember how far Dooku has gone as part of this plan. At this point there's a layer of disbelief because if he's been betrayed then it was all for nothing. It would be like finding out the girl you sacrificed everything for is cheating on you.
Something I think you may have missed but touched on in your video about why Dooku didn't have "Sith Eyes" is this. Dooku's whole reason for jpining The Dark Side and joining the Sith. Dooku felt the Republic was faulty... that it needed to be brought under the unifying rule of a powerful leader. He had no desire to be that leader, wasn't so immersed in The DarkSide to gain the Sith Eyes or that unyeilding lust for personal power. It was all just a means to change the galaxy for the better in his mind. Now couple that with the fact that Dooku has been a Jedi Master. Jedi were accustomed to serving a goal, an ideal greater than themselves, and they were certainly not beyond sacrificing themselves for that goal. Old habbits die hard. I therefore conclude that in addition to all that you mentioned in this video, when Dooku found himself on his knees looking up at Anakin and realising his death was at hand and for the first time truly perceiving Sideous's full plan..... he accepted it. He saw that this was the path towards the galaxy gettong the change it needed. That this was the part he was intended to play all along. He accepted this as his role and played his part accepting that his death, that the sacrifice of his life towards that end was necessary. That is where the part of him that was still Jedi Master Dooku allowed himself to be sacrificed for the ideal he believed in.
Just a thought. I'd be real interested in hearing what you think about it.
Because he just got both his hands lopped off and was in shock.
Palpatine was quick enough to not give Dooku the chance to
utter a word and ordered Anakin to execute him.
Dana Ripley "Dew it!"
If you're going to assume Dooku had so much "Force insight", you might as well say that he foresaw that although he was doomed, Sidious was also dooming himself, since he in turn would be betrayed by Anakin.
Well in his defence, if a Plasma Beam had just sliced off my hands i could not even talk.
It may not have even worked. If Dooku says Palpatine's the Sith Lord, Palpatine can just say to Anakin that Dooku's bargaining and trying to spread dissent among the Republic. Then pressure Anakin to execute him before Dooku can make a good argument against him.
Quick! Get a petition for a throw-away line in a canon book or a movie or episode naming Count Dooku as 'Dooku the Martyr'!
I think it is because Dooku already told it to Obi Wan on Geonosis, but he could not believe it as it would seem impossible that nobody ever noticed and it was there the whole time in front of their eyes, so he probably thought telling Anakin would have no effect anyways and he knew that learning truth would come sooner or later even without saying word.
But i do agree with your version indeed.
When Dooku was on his knees after being defeated, he should have told Anakin, "No fair, I only took one of your hands!"
I think Dooku understands that not revealing the true nature of the situation allows him to beat Anakin after all is said and done in the end Anakin did die once he became Vader and his whole life was shattered and torn apart so Dooku did indeed defeat him. He killed Anakin giving life to Vader. Plus there was no way place him in handcuffs.
Never took General Grievous for a fan of Adam Smith and laissez-faire economics.
Because he already told obi wan. He even reiterated that he has already told him everything in the clone wars series when they were investigating sifo diyas.
dooku the whole time be like
“0:”
then
“x,x”
In the comic of Star wars Eps 3, that came out some days before the movie hit the cinema. When Dooku is on his kne, with 2 lightsabers on each side of his head. Sidious tells Anikan. "Kill him", Dooku looks at Sidious and says "Master?!", before or after Anikan says "It's not the Jedi way", i can't remember. But then Sidious calls out "Do it!", and Dooku dies. So in the comic Dooku revelas that Palpatin is his master. Either the comic took the liberty to write that, to reveal to the reader that Dooku is suprised and that he knows Palpatin is Sidious, either case they made the comics out of reading the script, watching the storyboards and maybe watching an early cut. In that case, the idea that Dooku had forseen his own death in this fight, does not fit or that he was to shocked to say anything. The Comic does not support this videos conclusion on this matter.
The killing of Dooku and cutting off Mace Windu are so similiar. They tell clearly how Anakin was on path of the dark side.
"in the waning days of the clone wars" i couldn't help but feel you were about to say "the 501st legion was discretely transferred back to coruscant"
5:50 "After some persuasion from Palpatine" DO IT
Did Dooku even kill any Jedi?
K den In the Clone Wars series, yes. movies no
Eric Silva who? Any names, I can't seem to remember.
All the names I keep coming up with are Jedi he had someone else kill..
He is responsible for many Jedi deaths, but never by his own hand, it seems.. which would make sense, in a way. I think it's his way of detaching himself from the awful atrocities against his former allies, so as not to be overcome with guilt.
Eric Silva yea that's what I thought
He killed master Tiplar in the son of Dathomir comic which is cannon.
3:59 Dooku has a booger in his nose XD
"Everything that has transpired, has done so according to MY design"...
I believe after the events of The Phantom Menace, Palpatine decided at that very moment that Anakin would become his ultimate discipline. But as a boy and teenager, Anakin was not strong enough. Palpatine knew making Anakin Skywalker his apprentice was the end goal. He cleverly waited for Anakin to reach his peak of power to make his move. Basically he allowed the Jedi to do his work for him. Under the tutelage of the Jedi, Anakin quickly became one of the strongest Jedi Knights in all the order. He was also the youngest member of the Order to ever do so. If he had been given the rank of Master, Anakin would have been one of a kind. Many speculated that Master Windu was jealous of the Chosen One. I don't buy it. I firmly believe Mace Windu was extremely cautious of Anakin since he was a boy, bcuz he, like the other Masters of the Order could not foresee Anakin's future. This was a very dangerous situation for the Jedi bcuz, there was literally no one, and i mean no one the Jedi did not foresee or get some hint or clairvoyance of that person's future. Especially if they if were using all their power to do so. When it came to Anakin, the force revealed nothing to the Jedi of his impending future. The Jedi did not walk a path they could not foresee, this was not the Jedi way. Bcuz of this great uncertainty, the Jedi council denied Anakin the right to become a Jedi. Thinking back on it, that was the smartest thing they could have done. Bcuz of two persistent Jedi, the Council reneged on their final decision. They broke their own oath and protocol for a mere boy, who was the Chosen one. As a Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker possessed great gifts and skill with force. The Jedi Council unanimously denied Anakin the rank of Master. They did so, not bcuz of his physical skill, but bcuz of his mentality. Therefore everyone agreed with Master Windu, that includes Master Yoda and Obi-wan. They all felt Anakin was not yet ready. This is shows that there is no personal biasness being placed on Anakin from Master Windu alone. On several occasions, Anakin did not think or reason like a Jedi. He was, as they deemed, too emotional. I believe if Anakin had at least one person in the order who could understand how he felt, and why he felt the way he did, he would not have betrayed the Jedi. Obi-wan Kenobi was Anakin Skywalker's best friend, and even he was constantly saying he did not understand Anakin at all sometimes. It was as if his apprentice was a complete stranger to him. So Anakin's feelings of being an outcast, or outsider didn't come outta thin air. This came from years of being misunderstood. The Jedi forged Anakin into one of their greatest prodigies, yet kept him at a distance bcuz they could not foresee his future. This is what worked to Palatines' advantage. Why? Bcuz Anakin Skywalker never felt at peace with the Jedi, bcuz they always kept him at a distance. Anakin was never at one with his Jedi brethren and family. He was that one odd ball that they never understood and never fit in. Revenge of the Sith was the culmination of all that I just explained. And it's a sad shame.
Dooku must've realized he was just a place-holder for Palpatine's choice of a TRUE apprentice. He probably thought it wouldn't have made little difference whether he told him or not, since Anakin would find out eventually anyways.
He didn't because he knew that no one would've believed him.
TheSunStudio1 True, because he told Obi-Wan and he didn't even believe him
What happened to Dooku's Lightsaber, did it end up blown to bits, floating in space or was it Recovered at any time?
I've would of done it anyways, he wouldn't necessarily gain anything but he wouldn't lose anything either.
I'd also add that dukoo truly believed in the cause of Palpatine. That the Republic had become too corrupt and needed to be remade (at least that was how the idea was pitched to him). And for that cause dukoo allowed himself to become the enemy of his own jedi friends and Republic kinsmen - a truly massive sacrifice when you think about it, albeit misguided.
but if his believed so strongly in that cause, it's likely he wouldn't even want to reveal Palpatine's identity, because that would for sure undo everything he had sacrificed so much for; his reputation, position, and life.
Question is why wouldn't Dooku know that Palpatine would betray him? When this what all Sith did to each other or why Dooku wouldn't have put plans in place just in case.
Plans in place to inform the Senate and CIS.
ANKAIN/DARTH VADER : "YOUR ALL READY DEAD WHEN I WALKED IN THE ROOM."
Great explanation
It just wasn't in his character to beg, simple as that. Originally, Dooku called out to the Chancellor to help him, but Lee decided it wasn't in his character. He's visibly distraught over the sudden betrayal, but at the same time, he accepts his fate.
"if not for me, for firefly qui gonnnnnnnn"
the beggining of the video made me so00 sad :(
John Xray me toooooo 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Wouldn't it also sound kinda fishy, when Dooku talked at this point: "Don't kill me! I know the secret Sith lord!"
"Yeah right..."
Because the script said so.
